AdaptableOperable Business appWeb app Hybrid PHPTypeScript MCP server License: AGPL-3.0

TryPost is a Laravel and Vue social media scheduler: one calendar publishing natively to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, and Discord, with an AI copilot, automations, workspaces, and approvals. The Builder ships an MCP server with 31 tools at /mcp/trypost (OAuth 2.1) and a REST API. Self-hosting is free under AGPL; cloud is $12 per workspace.

Use it when

I want Claude or Cursor to draft and schedule my week of posts through MCP, on a scheduler I host
I run several client brands and need workspaces and approvals without per-seat pricing

Gotchas

AGPL-3.0
MCP accepts only OAuth 2.1 tokens with the mcp:use scope; dashboard API keys do not work against the MCP endpoint
Each network needs your own developer app and, for Meta and TikTok, platform review
579 stars and a 2026 launch: younger and less battle-tested than Postiz
Needs Redis and a websocket server (Reverb) in addition to PHP and a database

Operable: what an agent can drive

Interface

OfficialMCP serverpublished by the builderremote or local

How an agent can drive an Operable Listing, in five levels: native (built for the agent as the primary interface), official (the Builder ships an agent interface), wrapped (a third party wraps the software's API), config (an agent can only drive it by editing files), gui (screen control only). An interface is official only when it is published by the same organization that ships the software. GUI-level Listings are allowed and sorted last.

Open questions

Is there a free cloud tier, or is $12 per workspace the only hosted price?
Do the analyze tools cover account-level analytics or only per post?
